Building A Computer - Watercooling Advice

[Clazgar]

Hey everybody! I am building a computer and I need some advice on a few things, mainly water cooling. Ok below I posted the parts I will be getting, they should all be very high-end but if there is better for price or if something is incompatable please note. I am a complete n00b when it comes to water cooling and I want a water cooling setup that cools the CPU and preferably the GPU without going completely overboard on price. I want this baby to be nice and cool.

Antec 900 - Case
ASUS P6T Deluxe - MoBo
WD 10K Raptor 150GB - HDD (10,000 RPM)
3870 X2 - Graphics Card
OCZ StealthXStream (700W) - PS
Intel Core i7 940 Nehalem - CPU (Hoping to OC to 4GHz or above)
Sony Optiarc Black - DVD Burner

So far the whole rig is 1,352$ before tax.

good specs. id say get another HDD to store stuff on, and put the OS (or OS'es) on the 150 GB. install some LED's while your at it, make that thing glow!

learn about water cooling here

get a new case the 900 is over done (i have one and i would not want to nor would it be easy to install a water cooling set up in it, there is just not enough room for every thing to fit nicely). check out lian li or silver stone

you want nice water cooling look at Danger Den or Ek water cooling.

have any more questions ask

Antec 900 - Case  (good)
ASUS P6T Deluxe - MoBoGood
WD 10K Raptor 150GB - HDD (10,000 RPM)Woud Look into ssd?
3870 X2 - Graphics CardOut Dated, get a 4890 and you wil be much happier and it is cheaper.
OCZ StealthXStream (700W) - PSFine
Intel Core i7 940 Nehalem - CPU (Hoping to OC to 4GHz or above)I would go for the 920 instead. They are so simmilar the price difference is not worth it.
Sony Optiarc Black - DVD BurnerShould be fine

So far the whole rig is 1,352$ before tax.

Where are you trying to buy this from?
Tiger direct has 4gb ddr2 for 29.99 after mail in rebate. I belive it was OCZ

$1,352 HOLY ! Is that in US dollar coz thats CHEAP. My specs are very similar and my one was 2.5K AUS

SN!PER, yea that was my plan. I have a 7200 1TB sitting in my closet so that will be for files and such. But games and os will be on the 10K. I haven't had very good experiences with SSDs but if you can reccomend a SSD with a very high R/W specs (the same or better then my 10K) I will definately look into it. I think I am going to go with the FT01 by Silver Stone. Is the 4890 more powerful than the 3870? And can I OC the 920 as far as the 940? And I have 4GB of DDR3 I will be installing in it. (The mobo takes DDR3) Thanks for all the help guys!

Okay the ocz ssd on tiger direct for $99 are just fine for that imho. They are only 32gb so what I would do is only run the OS off of the ssd and then run everything else off of the 1tb you have.  The 4890 is far more powerfull than the 3870 and it is cooler (litteraly).Yes you can Over clock the 920 even past the 940 stock speeds. Some people have overclocked it to 3.4ghz. Some even higher.

{in my best borat voice} "Very Nice!" in reference to the silverstone

and as far as SSD's go your not going to find one that will have the wright speed your looking for, but they will blow the reed speeds out of the water

OCZ and Patriot make very nice stable drives, but your going to pay around $99.00 USD for 30 gigs
